The McKenzie Method, also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), is a classification and treatment protocol for problems of the spine, such as low back and neck pain, herniated discs, radiating leg or arm pain/numbness, and sciatica. A key component of the McKenzie Method is patient education in proper exercise and posture in order for patients to treat their own pain, rather than relying on various therapists.

​

Each of the physicians here at CCRC has been trained in McKenzie. It is a central part of both our assessment and treatment. 

​

Dr. Richard Ulm has studied and become a certified McKenzie therapist. He is one of less than 200 chiropractic physicians in the entire United States certified in this technique.
